ROME 
Antonio Di Natale scored his league-leading seventh goal and Udinese edged Palermo 1-0 Sunday to move back within a point of Serie A leader Juventus.

Serie A's top scorer from the past two seasons found the target with a volley from the center of the area in the 38th minute at Udine's Stadio Friuli.

Di Natale also hit the crossbar in the 10th and squandered a great chance to double the lead two minutes after his goal.

Palermo pushed for an equalizer in the second half and Udinese was fortunate to come away with a win.

Juventus leads with 19 points, Udinese has 18 and defending champion AC Milan is next with 17.

Juventus won 2-1 at Inter Milan on Saturday, when Milan posted a 3-2 victory at Roma. Lazio, which has 15 points, was playing at Cagliari later Sunday with a chance to draw level with Udinese.

Siena posted a convincing 4-1 win over Chievo Verona to move into seventh place, Mattia Destro scoring twice for the hosts. Gaetano D'Agostino made it 3-0 in the 61st before Davide Moscardelli pulled one back for Chievo in the 75th.

Emanuele Calaio scored his fifth of the season for Siena in added time.

Also Sunday, Fiorentina narrowly beat Genoa 1-0 with a 41st-minute strike from Andrea Lazzari to save coach Sinisa Mihajlovic's job. Fiorentina defender Alessandro Gamberini hit the crossbar in the 78th and the ball appeared to deflect into the goal, but the referee thought otherwise.

Despite ending a five-match winless streak, Fiorentina fans still called for Mihajlovic's ouster.

"We're playing for Mihajlovic, we've always supported him. We did well to win this match," Lazzari said. "At halftime Sinisa told us to only think about the match, and we were able to maintain the lead."

Bologna distanced itself from the relegation zone with a 3-1 win over Atalanta.

Elsewhere, Cesena fired coach Marco Giampaolo after a 2-0 loss to Parma, which also had a penalty from Sebastian Giovinco saved. Lecce and Novara drew 1-1 to leave both clubs in the relegation zone. Rodney Strasser put Lecce ahead in the 31st and Marco Rigoni equalized for Novara with a penalty in the 44th.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) - Levante's unexpected stay at the top of the Spanish league standings came to an abrupt end Sunday as the unheralded club was brought back to earth with a 2-0 loss at 10-man Osasuna.

The surprise pacesetter's first defeat of the season left it two points behind leader Real Madrid and one point behind defending champion Barcelona after 10 games.

Levante, which has the smallest budget in Spain's first division, had spent the past two rounds atop the table for the first time in the club's 102-year history.

But Alvaro Cejudo and Juan "Nino" Martinez scored in the first half, and Osasuna held firm after Cejudo was sent off with his second yellow card in the 59th.

"When you win, it's difficult to believe that you are ever going to lose," Levante's first-year coach Juan Ignacio Martinez said. "It is true that we were on a good run, but we knew that we were facing a tough game."
